I didn't always like my skin care program, mostly because I didn't have one. I only used face wash and moisturizer which was whatever was on the drug store shelf or some of the expensive department store brand. My face was clean but my skin was still dull and I could start to see sun spots (yikes - no more tanning bed tanning, even though I use SPF moisturizer!) Then I turned 29 and decided I needed to "get real!"
I had used Mary Kay in the past and liked it but didn't really have a consultant. Fortunately I met a great consultant local to where I live (and have since become friends, you can meet Kenzie at her blog 100 Pretty Broken Pieces) and she put together an awesome skin care program for me that combines Mary Kay skin care lines and targets my exact concerns! Dull skin, fine lines, a little bit of acne and dark under eyes...
Here is what she helped me come up with and I love it!
Listed in order of use:
1. Timewise 3 in 1 Cleanser for normal to dry skin
2. Even Complexion Essence to even my complexion and reduce redness
3. Timewise Repair Volu-Firm Lifting Serum to help firm my skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles (my fav!)
4. Timewise Age Fighting Moisturizer for normal to dry skin
5. Timewise Repair Volu-Firm Eye Renewal Cream to help firm and brighten my under eye area
Also, on alternating days, I either use the Mary Kay Microdermabrasion or the Even Complexion Mask. This has really helped to get rid of my sun spots and smooth out my skin.
I know that a skin care routine is pretty personal but the trick with a skin care program is to get it right for you - that's where Kenzie, my Mary Kay consultant came in. The second most important thing is to be patient, you may not see instant results like we all hope for. It took about 6 weeks or so for me to see results but I'm more than happy with them.
A great skin care program truly is the foundation for great make up and confidence!
Do you have a skin care program? What is it?

Hey, new follower from the Friend Connect blog hop. Great list of products! I don't really have much of a skin care routine, although I would like to. I just never know what to try! Thanks for sharing. :)

ReplyDeleteI too recently started using Mary Kay and have really noticed a difference in my skin. I LOVE the Microdermabrasion set, it makes my skin so smooth. Have you tried their makeup primer? That's another product that I swear by from MK. Such awesome products.
ReplyDeleteI do use the primer and I love it! :) They do have good products and I love using them!
DeleteThis routine looks incredible! I so need to take more time with my skin and baby it. I always grab the same old Clean and Clear cleanser yet I purchase Rx moisturizer with high amt vitaminA...and it sits in the cabinet. Shame,shame!!
